Payments firm Stripe to add a further 200 jobs at its headquarters in Dublin
Stripe now serves over 86,000 Irish business and solopreneurs, and was founded by brothers Patrick and John Collison.
Digital payments firm Stripe has announced it will create 200 further new jobs in Ireland at its headquarters in Dublin.
Across Ireland, Stripe said it employs more than 1,000 people, an increase of more than 35% since the start of the year.
The newly announced jobs will include positions across engineering and its go-to-market section.
Stripe established its first offices in Dublin in 2013. In October last year, it opened its new headquarters at One Wilton Park in the capital, tripling its physical presence to 14,500sq m.
“Ireland is the hub for Stripe’s operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa — as well as for developing products for Stripe globally, including payments, Stripe Tax, and fraud detection tools,” the company said.

Eileen O’Mara, vice-chairperson at Stripe, said in the last decade, “Dublin has established itself as the twin engine of Stripe’s growth story globally”.
She said: “The continued expansion of our Irish team reflects both the strong demand for Stripe’s products and services in Europe, and Ireland’s status as one of the best places in the world to build and scale global operations.
"Irish talent has been integral to Stripe from the beginning, and we're proud to keep investing in it.”
These new jobs are supported by the Government through IDA Ireland.
Enterprise minister Peter Burke said the company’s continued expansion in Ireland is a “strong endorsement of the environment we have created for innovative companies to scale and succeed here”.
“Stripe’s investment highlights Ireland’s strengths in talent, innovation, and our ability to support global operations," he said.
The executive director of IDA Ireland, Dónal Travers, said the jobs announcement “is a clear endorsement of Ireland’s highly skilled and deep talent base, and of Dublin’s position as a global international financial services and technology hub”.
Last month, newly filed accounts for the Dublin-based unit of Stripe showed the company generated pre-tax profits of 5.5m (€390.3m).
The Stripe now serves 86,000 Irish businesses and solopreneurs — from firms like Wayflyer and Flipdish, to Bank of Ireland, Brown Thomas Arnotts, GAA, and Smyths.
Accounts for Stripe Payments International Holdings Ltd show that the online payments business recorded the 337% increase in pre-tax profits, from $101.8m to $445.5m, as revenues surged by 32.5%, or $1.66bn — from $5.12bn to $6.79bn (€5.95bn) in 2025.
In a post-balance sheet event, the directors disclosed that the firm paid dividends of $467.2m to immediate US parent Stripe Laboratories Inc in May of this year.
This year, Forbes estimated that Patrick and John Collison, the founders of Stripe, each have a net worth of $17.5bn (€15.5bn) — up from $10.1bn one year ago.
In February, the company was valued at $159bn in an employee tender offer — up from $91.5bn a year earlier.
The company also recently sought to buy payments rival PayPal, which also has significant operations in Ireland. Stripe joined with a firm called Advent and reportedly offered more than $50bn for the company.
reported that PayPal had found Advent and Stripe’s initial bid insufficient and the two sides were negotiating a potential higher price.
However, the acquisition was abandoned in August.
